Flooding
Water ran slowly under the door of the girls quarters. Lili, the first to awaken that day, swung her legs out of her warm bed and stepped right in it.
"Aaaaaggh!" She yelled in surprise as her foot came into contact with the cold water. The other girls awoke at Lili's cry.
"Wuzzgoinon?" Rebecca slurred out, her eyes still closed when she lifted her head of her pillow slightly.
"Lili? It's really early, why did you wake us up?" Holly asked, slightly irritated at being disturbed.
"Sorry guys, there was water on the floor and I stepped in it. It just surprised me," The girl in question explained.
"What the hell is water doing in our room and stupid 'o' clock in the morning? Merlin usually walks past here a lot later with Arthur's bath water," Emma noted. It was true that Merlin had the annoying tendency of spilling water near their room, due to a small crack in the floor in the corridor outside.
"It has rained a lot recently," Katie pointed out, moving to look at the courtyard and avoiding the water on the floor, "Maybe someone walked past last night and dripped."
"That's way to much water for a drip," Holly said, throwing a towel at Lili who was waving her feet about in an attempt to get them dry.
"Let's take a look then," Rebecca suggested.
Emma leapt out of bed, far more smoothly than most people would have at that hour, and strode over to the door. She opened it and jumped back in surprise as a sleeping, soaking Gwaine flopped unceremoniously on the floor or their room. "Didn't Gwaine go to the tavern last night?" Emma asked.
"He must of come back in the rain and fallen asleep outside our door," Lili theorised, tossing the towel to the floor to soak up some of the water.
Emma walked through the water to grab the towel then walked back over to Gwaine. "If he stays asleep in soaking wet clothes he'll catch a cold," She said, before squeezing the water out of the towel over Gwaine's face, "We should probably wake him up."
Gwaine woke with a start and sat up abruptly. He looked confused for a moment then turned around to see the five girls wearing amused expressions. "I fell asleep outside your door, didn't I?" He asked rhetorically.
"Yup," Katie replied before gesturing at the water that still covered the floor, "You also made a bit of a mess."
"Sorry about that," He said, scratching the back of his neck sheepishly.
"Not a problem. Now go change out of those clothes, you have training in a bit and you're still soaking wet," Holly sympathised slightly, a gentle smile on her face.
"Thanks," He said, turning around and running off.
Rebecca sighed and gestured to the water, "We still need to clean this up you know."
"I'll do it. You guys get changed and get some breakfast, I'll meet you in the courtyard in a bit," Emma offered.
"Thanks Emma, that's really nice of you..." Holly trailed of, slightly confused.
"There's an ulterior motive here, isn't there," Lili said blankly.
"Princess is wandering around outside and I'm hoping to get him a bit wet if he walks under our window," Emma replied.
"Of course. We'll save you an apple or something," Katie said, getting ready for the day.
"Sounds good. I'll take the long way to the courtyard and run so I can get a bit of a warm-up in before we start," Emma planned.
"Great. See you in a bit," Rebecca told her, wandering out the door.
The others followed and Emma was left with a damp towel and a large puddle to clean up. "If I can get the prat wet, it will be so worth it," Was her only comment as she began soaking up the water closest to the window, knowing that it would only take her longer if she trekked the water everywhere.
It took a while of soaking up water for Arthur to notice what was going on and stand beneath the girl's bedroom window to ask what Emma was doing. Before he could even speak a word Emma had wrung the towel out of the window, subsequently covering Arthur in water. Arthur just walked away and resolved to stay away from that particular spot in the courtyard.
Unknown to Arthur, Emma smirked as she soaked up the last of the water and uttered an almost silent, "Gotcha."
